It’s a great place to work where love, kindness and caring for the children comes first
I have been at beginning years 2 for 3 years. All the staff are great the director is wonderful. The center is friendly and caring. Very clean. A wonderful place to work and have a child at the center
This place has come a long way the staff is very lovely and friendly and it looks great.
This is the best center my daughter has ever been to she learns so much and always wants to come to school!
My niece attends here and I feel like the staff does more gossiping than taking care of the kids. A student came in with a high fever and was allowed to return the next day without a doctors note. The director doesn't answer any calls nor does she take the time to call a parent in a timely manner when a child is feeling ill. If I had a choice my child WILL NOT be here longer.
